Day 5: A picture is worth a thousand words...

































Yes, a picture is worth a thousand words and I could easily use those thousand to tell the story of Day 5, but as you can see we have made it to France!! We caught an early Eurostar train to Paris from London - was about 2.5 hrs over - most napped, myself included! We got a quick scenic tour of the city on our way to our hotel, dropped bags and went to lunch at Flam's.






We then had free time, and as you can see, we spent it up by the Eiffel Tower. The kids had a JUMP OFF - boys vs. girls. You be the judge - personally, i think the girls' is better!






We of course had to get some ice cream, wandered around a bit, and then went up to the top of the Eiffel -what a site! What was also crazy were the people - it took us 1.5 hrs just to get to the top by standing in lines.






After a bit of sunset on the Tower, we headed for our boat cruise along the Seine...what a perfect night - a very peaceful ending to a beautiful day in Paris.



Tomorrow is our city tour & Versailes tour ....and Cristina's bday!
